About Orion's Svelte.

What does it all mean?

So you’ve stumbled across Orion's Svelte, but you’re not quite sure what it means.

Let’s break it down:

Orion:
noun: the constellation of the hunter, a profession of mind and body combined.

Svelte:
adjective: a high degree of mental/social adaptability that comes from life experiences i.e. intelligence.

AND/OR

adjective: a high degree of physical adaptability i.e. fitness.


So, Orion’s Svelte can be translated to; the hunter’s intelligence and fitness.
Doesn’t sound as good though, does it?

Orion's Svelte = The quality of the hunter’s fitness and intelligence.

I believe Orion's Svelte is a quality that should be strived for by all. This is a belief supported by the peoples of Acient Greece who developed themselves through a process called Phaideia (rounded education) towards a goal called Arete (excellence).

This blog will analyse the ancient process of Phaideia and goal of Arete and try and make it applicable to the modern world.
